Laptop to HDTV through HDMI

[Mo2teye]

Hello everyone, i wanted to connect my HP proBook 4510s to my HDTV throught HDMI, the laptop does have an HDMI port and it works, now the problem im having is when i close the lid, it stops the output.

 

any way to keep it giving output with the lid closed ? ( i have the laptop that doesnt sleep when lid is closed )

Its not good to close a laptop while its running, it gets a lot hotter and I have had a laptop fail because of doing that.

Go to Control > Power Options > Advanced.

Change the options as per your requirement.

Ummm not true, not true at all I ran my toshiba pappy closed all the time because there is no need to have it's screen on wasting power and also heating up.

 

@op Power Optionsin control panel and select the option to change what closing the lid does.

Have you tried using the FN key with F8 to switch to the HDMI output only before closing the lid?
